Public transport fares & concessions

Public transport

Myki is the one card ticketing system for travel on trains, buses and trams across Victoria. For more information, visit Myki

Multi Purpose Taxi Program

The Multi Purpose Taxi Program provides a 50% discount on taxi fares (up to $60 per trip) for eligible people. The program aims to improve the accessibility of transport services for Victorians with a severe or permanent disability that significantly restricts their mobility and prevents them from independently accessing public transport.

Other concessions

The Victorian State Government Department of Human Services has developed a comprehensive list of concessions available, including transport concessions, to assist low income Victorians to access essential services.

Accessible parking permits

There are two types of accessible parking permit categories that can be issued to a person based on their need for assistance. A person can only be eligible for one permit based on the assessment of their need for assistance.

Category One: Blue A blue parking permit entitles a person to park for twice the amount of time as indicated by the reserved disability parking bay sign.

Category Two: Green A green permit allows a permit holder to park in any regular parking bay for twice the amount of time indicated by the sign.
